Lazy Lizard PH

The owner sorts scooter hire and will extend your stay without fuss, and the banana pancakes alone justify an early morning. Dorm rooms have no curtains and outside bathrooms, so bring a head torch and earplugs for the roosters.

• The owner and her family were genuinely helpful, including arranging scooter rentals and accommodating extended stays.
• The banana pancakes and breakfast overall were a highlight worth mentioning more than once.
• The common area has free water and coffee and works well as a social space for meeting other travellers.
• One reviewer noted the bamboo huts allow for good sleep despite the inevitable roosters, and that shared bathrooms are clean and close by.
• The dorm rooms are basic, with no curtains and limited storage, and that outside bathrooms mean mosquito awareness at night.
• The hostel sits in San Juan, tucked away from the busy main road and bars, making nights noticeably quieter.
• Accommodation is in bamboo huts set among lush greenery, with shared outdoor bathrooms that are described as clean.
• Dorm rooms have fans but no air conditioning, can get hot, and one reviewer noted they are quite dark.
• Guests can use a kitchen to cook their own meals, which several reviewers flagged as a significant bonus.
• The hostel is less than a five-minute walk from restaurants and around fifteen minutes on foot from most amenities, with the beach also reachable on foot.
